Chocolate cupcake is definitely a go to pastry when it comes to celebrations especially kids party, or even if you're looking for a simple snack. Sometimes we all do have that perfect recipe for frosting with all the toppings from syrups to candies to chocolates or even fruits. But it's just quite hard to make that perfectly moist and chocolatey cupcake and we tend to depend on store bought premixed cupcake batter. Now, you can make it completely from scratch! This recipe has the perfect balance of flour, cocoa and fat which brings out the chocolate flavor and moistness perfectly.You can use this on parties, make them with kids or simply snack on them. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cocoa powder (I use Bensdorp)
1 cup sugar
1 tsp instant coffee powder/granules
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil (I use canola)
1 medium egg
1 tbsp vinegar

Cheesecakes are very luxurious dessert and many thinks it's a complicated process when it comes to making them at home. They are usually baked using a spring form round pan using baine marie method, or simply with a water bath. But this version made everything simple! I tried making a 'mini' and 'super mini' bite size pieces so that more people could enjoy it. It's very convenient to prepare, to carry and to eat! You can also give them as a treat to your friends and loved ones still looking beautiful and perfect. This recipe is very creamy and rich with just the right sweetness. A perfect balance of the creamy cheesecake, graham crust and fruity blueberry topping!
Ingredients:
CRUST:
2 cups crushed graham
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter

Boiled icing or also known as the “7-minute frosting” is very useful in special types of pastries. If you need a smooth and easy butter free frosting that colors and flavors really well, you might want to consider making boiled icing. It is a meringue based icing cooked by hot syrup which can be used to frost cupcakes or icing on a cake and you can also bake it to make meringues or marshmallow frosting on top of your Smore’s cupcakes, just like what I did here. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
¾ cups sugar
¼ cup water
2 large egg whites
¼ tsp cream of tartar
Pinch of salt
½ tsp vanilla extract

This chocolate sauce recipe is very versatile and you can use it on any dessert in any way you want it and it tastes like Hershey's! You can frost a cake, dip your doughnuts, use it as a spread, dip your churros, drizzle over other pastries, whatever you may think of! This is a really great tasting chocolate sauce super chocolatey with just the right sweetness. You can just store it in the fridge and grab it when you need it!
*It lasts in the fridge for about 2 weeks
*You can add about 2tsp instant coffee for intense chocolate flavor
*If you wan it to thicker and be able top pipe it (if used for cake decorating), you can add 3 more tablespoon of flour depending on the consistency that you like
*the chocolate flavor will depend on the quality of the cocoa powder you will use. In this recipe I used Bensdorp cocoa powder
Ingredients:
1 can evaporated milk
1/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder (I used Bensdorp)
5 tbsp flour
1/4 cup butter

Kutsinta Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup cassava flour
1 cup brown sugar
3 cups water
1 teaspoon lye water
2 tablespoons annatto extract (atsuete)
Cheese or grated coconut for topping
Oil for brushing molds
• You may use darker type of brown sugar for deeper color
• Add more or less of atsuete for the orange color
• You may want to cover the lid of your steamer with cloth to prevent condensation and water falling onto your kutsinta
• Once the mixture is ready make sure to work fast and set it on fire before the cassava starch settles at the bottom of the molds. You may end up with hard bottom and softer top if this happens
• I used bigger molds and steamed them for 40 minutes over medium high heat. You can steam them for about 20-25 minutes if you use smaller ones or just until firm
